No shows: a problem in health care.

No shows: a problem in health care. The mothers who kept their appointments were likely to be or have been head of household; they had to assume more responsibility and independence than the mothers in nuclear families. They were more likely to have been socialized in Michigan or Mexico than in Texas. They were more likely to have transportation available. They brought their children to the clinic to be sure they were all right. They tended to have prenatal care early and regularly for the same reason. The mothers who broke a number of appointments lived in nuclear families. They had never had to assume the total responsibility for their children. Unlike the good users, they were more likely to have been socialized in Texas. Some did not keep appointments because they did not have transportation. Some did not see any reason to take a child to the doctor unless he was sick. However, many of them did have prenatal care to be sure they were all right. "Start where the patient is" is still a good precept for public health nursing practice. Understanding where these mothers are should enable us to adapt our approach and practice to help them achieve their goal of good health care for their children.

Altering children's distress behavior during orthopedic cast removal. The hypothesis treated was that discrepancy between expected and experienced physical sensations (what is felt, seen, heard, tasted, and smelled) during a threatening experience will result in distress. The subjects were 84 children, 6 to 11 years of age, male and female. The threatening experience was orthopedic cast removal. Tape recorded preparatory information was used to vary systematically expectations about physical sensations. The children were randomly assigned to one of three information groups: 1) sensory information which described the sensory experience during cast removal, 2) procedure information which described the steps of the experience, 3) control group which heard no tape recorded information. Nonverbal and verbal signs of distress reactions and the pulse rate were observed during cast removal. Signs of distress were scaled from zero to two, with zero meaning no distress behaviors and two, high distress behavior. A two-factor analysis of variance (two levels of pre-fear and three levels of information) was used for analysis. As hypothesized, the mean distress score for the sensation group (.50) differed significantly from the control group mean (1.00 p less than .025). The procedure group distress score mean (.71) fell between the sensation and control group means but did not differ significantly from the control group mean. The no pre-fear group distress score mean (.52) was significantly lower than the some pre-fear group mean (1.00 p less than .02). Mean pulse rate changes for information groups for before to during cast removal were in the same order as the distress scores, but the differences were not statistically significant. The findings were similar to those from other tests of the hypothesis.


Delphi survey of priorities in clinical nursing research. Using the Delphi technique, a panel of 433 nurse and nonnurse experts was surveyed regarding priorities for clinical research in nursing. Of these, 341 completed all four Delphi survey rounds. Three questions were studied: 1) Is this an area in which nursing should assume primary research responsibility? 2) How important is research on this topic for the profession of nursing? 3) What is the likelihood of change in patient welfare because of research on the topic? Although the nature and amount of data produced prohibited interpretation of the data or delineation of succinct conclusions about priorities for clinical nursing research, responses to the three questions supported these statements: The majority of research areas identified in the questionnaire are areas in which nursing should take research leadership. Although there is some overlap, priorities for professional significance and social or patient welfare relevance are different. In terms of professional significance, highest priority was given to items regarding measuring the quality of care, role, nursing process, and the research process. In terms of patient welfare, several programs of research are discernible in the items ranked in the top ten percent; these include nursing interventions related to stress, care of the aged, pain, and patient education. The Delphi technique also is described.


Relationship among health habits, social assets, psychologic well-being, life change, and alterations in health status. To examine variables which may temper life change and enable individuals to withstand high degrees of life change without developing illness, a questionnaire was mailed to a systematically selected sample of the residents of Renton, Washington, of which 548 (57 percent) were returned. The major statistical analysis was linear correlation and multiple regression. When relationships between the major variables--health habits, social assets, psychologic well-being, and life change--and the dependent variable-alterations in health status--were examined, the single best predictor of subsequent alterations in health status for respondents in this study was found to be the magnitude of the life change. As the life changes increased, the risk of becoming ill also increased. The notion that health habits, psychologic well-being, and social assets might temper life change and make it possible to avoid a change in health status was not borne but strongly in the results of the analysis of data. These variables were weakly associated, however, with maintenance of health status.

Preparation of the breast for breastfeeding. To evaluate effectiveness of three commonly suggested methods of preparing the breasts for breastfeeding--nipple rolling, application of cream, and expression of colostrum--57 women volunteered to prepare one breast and not the other. One-third of the group used one each of the three methods. After delivery, the women completed data sheets on the subjective tenderness of both breasts, and an investigator visited them to evaluate objective measures of nipple irritation. When the treated and untreated breasts were compared, no significant differences in either objective or subjective measures of nipple sensitivity or trauma were found in any of the three groups. These findings imply that these traditional methods of preparing the breasts for breast-feeding are ineffective.

Cancer chemotherapy and management of patient problems. Cancer chemotherapy has made major progress over the past twenty-five years with the development of effective drugs and the application of multiple drug regimens to the treatment of cancer patients. The focus of cancer therapy today is on the cure of cancer with the introduction of multiple modality therapy incorporating surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy in the treatment of early disease. Thus chemotherapy is becoming commonplace and standard practice, and an awareness of the practical management of drug therapy is essential.

Letter: Penicillin-"sensitive" methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.


Flow kinetics of beta-galactosidase chemically attached to nylon tubing. Beta-Galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) has been attached covalently to the inner surface of nylon tubing. An experimental study has been made of the flow kinetics for the hydrolysis of o-nitrophenylgalactose, the substrate concentration and flow rate being varied. The results were analyzed in the light of the theoretical treatment of Kobayashi and Laidler, three different methods of analysis being employed. It is concluded that at the lower substrate concentrations and flow rates employed, the reactions are largely diffusion controlled; with increase in flow rate and substrate concentration the width of the Nernst diffusion layer decreases, and there is found to be less diffusion control. The values of Km(app) vary with flow rate VF, being linear in VF-1/3, and the value extrapolated to very high flow rate agrees well with the Km value for beta-galactosidase in free solution. The theory and results are shown to provide guidelines for the design of open tubular heterogeneous enzyme reactors for industrial, biomedical, and analytical applications.

Decannulation of the tracheostomized patient.


Reciprocal beats initiated by artificial pacemaker. In conclusion, the underlying mechanism for this rhythm disturbance in our patient is the re-entry phenomenon,  which is dependent upon a localized unidirectional block in the A-V junction. The predisposing factors, including digoxin and Inderal which tend to prolong A-V conduction, are considered for the mechanism of the production of the reciprocal beats in our case. Upon temporary withdrawal of digoxin and Inderal, the re-entry phenomenon has disappeared.

Tachycardia-dependent BBB is related to prolonged recovery. Bradycardia-dependent BBB is related to hypopolarization and SDD. These fundamental electrophysiological properties aid in understanding of transient BBB occurring during an acute MI.


Transcriptional control of peptidoglycan precursor synthesis during sporulation in Bacillus sphaericus. Synthesis of enzymes functional in the synthesis of nucleotide precursors of peptidoglycan ceases upon initiation of sporulation in Bacillus sphaericus. During sporulation, two periods of synthesis of these enzymes occur. The first starts at spore septum formation and is conincident with forespore engulfment; it involves the synthesis of those enzymes required for making the precursor of vegetative-type peptidoglycan, including L-lysyl ligase but no mesodiaminopimelyl ligase. The second period occurs shortly before the appearance of cortex. It involves the synthesis of diaminopimelyl ligase and the other enzymes needed for making the precursor of cortical peptidoglycan, but not lysyl ligase. Both events are a consequence of derepression at the level of transcription. Neither period of synthesis occurs in asporogenous mutants whose morphological block is at the point of spore septum formation.

Effect of body position upon pulmonary artery and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures in noncritically ill patients. Monitoring pulmonary artery (PA) and pulmonary capillary wedge (PCW) pressures with a Swan-Ganz catheter to detect left ventricular failure has assumed an important role in the present day management of critically ill patients. In order to obtain an accurate reading, it has been assumed that the patient must be supine and flat. This may require waking an acutely ill patient; also there are patients who cannot tolerate a flat position. The effect of position upon the PA and PCW pressures was investigated in ten cardiac out-patients who were undergoing hemodynamic studies during exercise tolerance testing. The pressures were measured with the backrest flat, then at 20 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees and with patient sitting on edge of bed with feet dangling. The only significant difference with relation to position was systolic pressure at 90 degrees in relation to  the systolic pressure in the flat position. Other pressure differences were not statistically significant and all pressure differences were of such small magnitude as not to be clinically significant. Based on these findings, it would seem that in patients with normal PA pressures, measurements can be made without lowering the backrest. Further study is needed to determine the effect of position on these pressures in critically ill patients.


Maximal-stress, multiple-lead exercise testing: the significance of ST-segment changes in the detection of coronary arterial occlusive disease. Recognition of the value of objective parameters in the diagnostic evaluation for coronary arterial occlusive disease had led to increased application of maximal-stress multiple-lead electrocardiography. Changes in the ST-segment during and immediately following exercise are the most significant electrocardiographic indicators of myocardial ischemia. When such causes of ischemia as congenital anomalies, embolism, and arteritis have been excluded, exercise testing is a sensitive and specific means of detecting coronary arterial occlusion. The sensitivity and specificity of this parameter are evaluated in terms of long-term morbidity and mortality and, more recently, through correlation of electrocardiographic results with angiographic evidence. In our series of 308 patients undergoing both exercise testing and coronary arteriography, the sensitivity factor for 80 negative stress tests approached 95 per cent, with only four false-negative resting and exercise electrocardiograms. For 129 patients with ST-segment changes indicative of myocardial ischemia, angiography demonstrated significant coronary stenosis in 84 per cent of the cases. Of the twenty patients with false-positive stress electrocardiograms twelve were females, wich correlates with the generally higher rate of false-negative stress-electrocardiographic response among women.

Eight steps to inpatient cardiac rehabilitation: the team effort-methodology and preliminary results. The effects of a team approach in cardiac rehabilitation were investigated in 89 postmyocardial infarction patients. Team members followed an eight-step protocol in caring for the patients during the hospitalization phase. Risk factor modification data were collected at a mean time of 13.5 months after hospitalization. The investigated parameters included work, dietary and exercise habits, body weight, high blood pressure and cigarette smoking. Fifty-six per cent (42 of 75) of the survival group were actively working, 66 per cent (49 of 75) were adhering to a fat-controlled diet, 77 per cent (58 of 75) continued an exercise regime, 70 per cent (40 of 57) lost excess body weight, 91 per cent (21 of 23) had their blood pressure controlled and 60 per cent (27 of 45) stopped smoking cigarettes. It is concluded that an in-hospital team approach in rehabilitation of postmyocardial infarction patients is beneficial in long-term risk factor modification.

Distribution of beta-lactamases A and B in some groups of Yersinia enterocolitica and their role in resistance. Yersinia enterocolitica W222 (serological group 3) synthesized two different intracellular beta-lactamases, called A and B. Enzyme B was more sensitive than A to inhibition by cloxacillin. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of various beta-lactam antibiotics for strains of Y. enterocolitica of groups 3 and 9 and the effect of cloxacillin on these concentrations suggested differential roles for beta-lactamases of types A anb B in penicillin and cephalosporin resistance. Type B enzymes protected Y. enterocolitica against cephalothin and cephalosporin C, wheras type A enzymes protected very efficiently against carbenicillin. Protection against other beta-lactam antibiotics was exerted by both enzymes. However, while both enzymes readily hydrolysed cephaloridine and showed no crypticity with this substrate, they only conferred a very weak protection against it. This may be because cephaloridine reached its target quickly, before it was degraded. The resistance of strains of Y. enterocolitica from groups I, 2 and I6 was also explicable in terms of a two-enzyme system, whereas strains belonging to group 5b produced only a type B lactamase and were sensitive to carbenicillin.

Beta-lactamases in hospital strains of gram-negative bacteria. A collection of 98 strains of enteric Gramnegative bacteria isolated in routine investigations in a hospital laboratory all showed beta-lactamase activity, and 39 of them (40%) produced sufficient enzyme to allow determination of their relative activities against benzylpenicillin, ampicillin and cephaloridine (substrate profiles). The commonest type of beta-lactamase, detected in 33 of the 39 strains, was an "all-purpose" enzyme that showed similar activity against the penicillins and the cephalosporins. All 39 were resistant to multiple antibiotics. They were examined for their ability to transfer the beta-lactamase gene during R-factor transfer, and transferability of the beta-lactamase gene was demonstrated in 13 strains out of 32.

Depression: adaptation to disruption and loss. Assisting the depressed person to cope with disruption and loss and the experiences associated with each stage of his recovery is usually a long-term process involving concerted efforts to promote a restoration of self-worth, personal control, and organization. In this article the authors have attempted to elucidate the problem of depression as a clinical phenomenon, to explore its predisposition, and, through the use of a conceptual model, to discuss its psychodynamics. The processes involved in coping with disruption and loss -- processes which tend to be evoked repeatedly during recovery and resolution since each failure or delay encountered is experienced as another loss and disruption by the individual -- were described and illustrated schematically.


The psychodynamics of the "holiday syndrome". The holiday season is clearly a time of great emotional conflict, especially for schizophrenics. Both the occurrence of the holiday season and the psychoanalytic group process itself stimulate regression in the schizophrenic which uncovers the frustration and anger associated with dependency needs. The therapist who understands the pychodynamics set in motion by the holidays and by psychoanalytic group pschotherapy can utilize the content of group interaction during the holiday season to stimulate group process, the expression of mutual concerns, and cohesion among the members.

Patients' dependence and independence levels on the prehospitalization-postdischarge continuum. Levels of dependence and independence were studied in 26 patients who had total hip or total knee replacement procedures. Four instruments--a three-situation questionnaire, Beller's Behavioral Checklist, the D-I Scale, and the Navran Dy portion of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory--were administered. Tests were given at five times: prehospitalization, presurgery, postsurgery, predischarge, and postdischarge. Dependence and independence levels were found to change along the prehospital-postdischarge continuum, according to the stress of hospitalization and surgery. There was, however, no significant difference in dependence scores between the prehospitalization and postdischarge administrations of the scales.


Clean technique for intermittent self-catheterization. Seven patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction who ranged in age from 16 to 54 years, and who had been on sterile intermittent self-catheterization, were changed to clean intermittent self-catheterization. Urine was monitored for one year after changing to clean technique. Urine specimens obtained while on clean technique were bacteriologically equivalent to urine specimens examined while patients were on sterile technique; the only exception to equivalent urine results were in patients who did not catheterize themselves at frequent intervals. Renal function tests on all patients were also normal. The clean, intermittent self-catheterization technique was effective, since infection did not seem to be caused by introducing bacteria into the bladder via the urethra.


Selected National League for Nursing achievement test scores as predictors of state board examination scores. In a study to formulate regression equations which could be used to predict performance on the licensing examinations of graduates of an associate degree nursing program, selected sets of National League for Nursing achievement test scores were found to be effective predictors of state board examination (SBE) scores. When test score records of graduates for the years 1969-1974 were subjected to stepwise multiple regression analysis, prediction equations were empirically validated by correlation of predicted SBE scores with actual SBE scores obtained by graduates of the program.

Reestablishing self-feeding in a nursing home resident. An attempt was made to teach an elderly person to reacquire and maintain self-feeding skills. A single-subject ABAB reversal strategy, including assessment for generalization, was planned as experimental design. The treatment procedure consisted of a continuous, immediate reinforcement program contingent on self-feeding responses. Fast and stable control of self-feeding was obtained. A drop in feeding behavior resulted when the patient returned to base-line procedures. The patient died before the second treatment procedure could be carried out. The study found, however, that nursing home staff could facilitate healthy behavior through better use of behavioral management skills.


Nursing students' knowledge about diabetes mellitus. This study investigated whether senior nursing students about to graduate from baccalaureate programs were knowledgeable enough about diabetes mellitus to teach diabetic patients and their families. The sample consisted of 144 volunteer subjects from four colleges in a metropolitan area. A student was considered eligible to teach diabetic patients if he could answer all questions correctly on a 34-item instrument. Three additional questions dealt with extracurricular contact with diabetes: was the student diabetic? Had he a diabetic in the immediate family? Had he taught diabetics? None of the participants answered all questions correctly; one student scored 31 correct answers. Only two questions were answered correctly by all students. The study indicated that the graduating students were not prepared to do diabetic teaching.

Effect of cigarette smoking on postural muscle tremor. In a study of the effect of smoking on postural reflexes--specifically postural muscle tremor--in man, amplitude of postural muscle tremor, when tested in 30 subjects, was increased to a significant degree immediately following the smoking of one cigarette. Tremor amplitude continued to be significantly increased one-half hour after smoking ceased. There was no significant change in the frequency of tremor. Measurement was made using a piezo crystal accelerometer attached to the third fingers of both hands. Effects were recorded with a Sanborn Twin Viso Recorder. The findings, that smoking does affect postural reflexes, have implications for the formulation of nursing therapies, particularly in areas such as rehabilitation nursing, where the use of postural reflexes is the primary mode of intervention.

A cross-validation study for predictors of scores on state board examinations. Regression equations were computed and cross-validated for predicting nurses' scores on each of the five state board examinations (SBEs). Scores on five National League for Nursing (NLN) achievement tests of 101 nurses who graduated from a baccalaureate program between 1968 and 1972 were used as predictor variables. Stepwise regression analysis was used to compute the equations which were, in turn, used to predict the SBE scores for an independent sample of nurses who graduated in 1973. Cross-validation correlations between the predicted and actual obtained scores of the 1973 graduates ranged from .64 to .81. For each equation, the NLN test scores in Nursing of Children and Obstetric Nursing were consistently the best indicators of performance on the SBEs. Additionally, a factor analysis indicated that the SBEs do not measure independent entities, but that all five examinations have high loadings on the same factor. The results suggest that nursing programs should develop and validate prediction equations to assist nurses in preparing for SBEs.

Selected factors associated with professional attitude of baccalaureate nursing students. To examine the association between professional attitude and selected situational and demographic factors of baccalaureate nursing students, 157 female students from an upper division major who had not had other college or nursing education answered a questionnaire which incorporated Osgood et al.'s Semantic Differential Test, Hogan's Professional Attitude Test, and an adaptation of the Dawson et al. instructor-leader behaviors. Eight hypotheses were tested. Professional attitude was found to be highest for students 24 to 26 years of age, who saw nursing as highly positive and highly active, had most formal and informal nursing experience, and perceived teachers as taking strong positions on their beliefs and relating to them with high consideration throughout their program and with low structuring when they were seniors. Professional attitude of students was not associated significantly with potency attributed to nursing, career choice, parents' level of education, or placement in sibling group.

Utilization of reinforcement contracts to increase written evidence of the nursing assessment. This study investigated if nursing personnel would increase written evidence of the nursing process if favorable consequences were arranged. The charting of 23 nurses was observed and tabulated for a three-week period. These base-line data were averaged and shared with each nurse, at which time each nurse set a goal (relative to increased charting) and chose a reward contingent upon achieving that goal. During the next three weeks the nurses were again observed, at the end of which results were tabulated and rewards given. The two periods were repeated. Results showed a sharp increase in charting during each reinforcement phase and a fall off during the second base-line period that was lower than the first base-line. The target behavior, therefore, was found to be increased by systematic reinforcement.

Cefamandole: antimicrobial activity in vitro of a new cephalosporin. Cefamandole, a new cephalosporin derivative, was found to have a broad spectrum of activity against a cross-section of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria isolated from clinical material. Gram-positive cocci, except for Streptococcus faecalis, were very susceptible. Penicillin G-resistant Staphylococcus aureus also was susceptible to cefamandole. Minimal bactericidal concentrations for gram-positive cocci approximated the minimal inhibitory concentrations. Strains of Haemophilus influenzae were very susceptible to the drug. Most strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., and Proteus sp. were inhibited by low concentrations. Increasing resistance occurred with larger inocula. Strains of Pseudomonas sp. were resistant to cefamandole.

Kinetic studies of alpha-galactosidase-containing mold pellets on PNPG hydrolysis. Little is known about techniques for applying untreated microbial cells containing enzymes directly to industrial processes as a biocatalyst. The kinetic behavior of alpha-galactosidase-containing spherical pellets which are formed naturally under given conditions in a submerged culture of Mortierella vinacea was studied on the hydrolysis of PNPG (p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside). The effect on intraparticle diffusion on the overall reaction rate was assessed by the use of an effectiveness factor, which was calculated by the approximate solution to the equation derived from the mass balance within a pellet. The experimental effectiveness factors were found to be represented as a single function of the modified Thiele modulus, including such parameters as pellet size, enzyme concentration in the pellet, and substrate concentration. As the diffusional effect became more significant, the marked substrate inhibition as seen for a free enzyme disappeared gradually. The effect of product inhibition on the pellets was much weaker than that for a free enzyme at a given substrate concentration. In the region of diffusion controlled reaction, it was found that the rate is proportional to the square root of the enzyme concentration in the pellet. In addition, similarly to what was reported previously for a free enzyme,the reaction in a batch system was found to be approximately representable as simple first-order kinetics in which the rate constant was dependent on the initial substrate concentration.


Hydrolysis of D-galactosides in an open tubular lactase reactor. Lactase (beta-galactosidase) was attached to the inner surface of nylon tubing. Tubes of various lengths were used to bring about the hydrolysis of o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactoside and of lactose in skim milk. The results with the former substrate were analyzed in the light of a theoretical treatment of Kobayashi and Laidler (Biotechnol. Bioeng., 16, 99, 1974), with the conclusion that the reaction is intermediate between diffusion-free and completely diffusion-controlled behavior. The results with skim milk show that with a single 46 m tube and continuous circulation, 90% of the lactose is removed within 20 hr. A battery of ten such tubes, with single passage, at a flow rate of 2 cm/sec, would remove more than 99% of the lactose in less than 40 min.

Chronic cannabis users: Further analysis of objective test results. Twelve objective tests, generating 16 psychological test variables were administered to 850 chronic cannabis takers and 839 non-takers, all Egyptian males, ranging in age between 15 and 50 years, and representing various positions on continua of literacy-illiteracy and urbanism-ruralism. The tests were intended to assess different modalities of 5 broad psychological functions: speed of psychomotor performance, estimation of moderate distances, estimation of a few minutes time interval, immediate memory for digits and designs and visual-motor co-ordination. Analysis of variance based on 3 x 3 x 2 factorial design was carried out and revealed statistically significant differences between the two groups of subjects on most of the test variables. Detailed analyses showed that controls displayed better performance than drug users on the majority of the variables. Significant second order interaction effects emerged in a big number of cases denoting that, under certain conditions relating to literacy-illiteracy and urbanism-ruralism, the superiority of controls over cannabis users became much more impressive. Our findings were discussed in the light of investigations which were conducted on the psychological correlates and/or effects of long term and short term cannabis consumption. The clinical psychological literature was cited where slowness of psychomotor performance, defective visual-motor co-ordination and impaired memory for designs were reported to be associated with psychiatric disorder. It is suggested that our results point to meaningful associations between chronic cannabis consumption and manifestations of psychopathology.

Trends in reported illegal narcotic use in Canada: 1956-1973. Information on reported narcotic users aids in the development of drug control policy as well as programmes of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. In Canada, such information may be obtained from a narcotic users index which classifies known narcotic drug users into three categories: "illicit", "licit", and "professional". This paper presents trend data on known narcotic users in Canada from 1956 to 1973 by category, location, initially reported drug, sex and age. Between 1956 and 1973, the number of known "licit" and "professional" narcotic drug users steadily decreased, while the number of "illicit" narcotic drug users increased by 283 per cent, with the greatest increase taking place after 1969. Heroin was the most frequent initially reported drug (representing between 80 per cent and 89 per cent of known "illicit" narcotic drug users). Cocaine, as an initially reported "narcotic", had the largest proportional increase from 1956 to 1973. There were generally more reported male users than female in all age groups, a trend that increased over the time span considered. There were recent dramatic increases in the numbers and rates of reported users in the 20-24 year-old group, which has become the dominant pattern among new cases in recent years. Although the index on which this paper is based does not provide figures on total narcotic use in Canada, it is a valuable resource for epidemiologic research. This narcotic user index may be used to make minimum estimates of the extent and geographic and social distribution of narcotic-related problems in Canada.


The criminal histories of male non-medical opiate users in the United Kingdom. Although there is general agreement that there is some association between non-medical opiate use and criminality the nature, extent and significance of the association remains controversial. The most plausible explanation for an association is that crime becomes an economic necessity for the opiate user where there is, as in most countries, a legislative prohibition on licit supplies of the drugs. In the United Kingdom, however, opiate users may be prescribed the drugs and may also qualify for social security benefits. The criminal histories of three series of United Kingdom male non-medical opiate users are described. A somewhat higher proportion of the series had criminal convictions before any admitted drug misuse when compared with that expected from a general population sample. When age and the number of convictions before identification as opiate users were taken into account, there was no consistent evidence that they were more likely than expected to be convicted of further offences during the two-year period following identification. When the proportion found to have been convicted during this period was greater than expectation, it was due to the proportion convicted exclusively of drug offences. The criminal histories showed a decrease in the number of convictions for theft and other offences and an increase in the number of convictions for, and the number of users convicted of, drug offences during the stages of the drug using history, most particularly during the two years following identification as opiate users. The majority of the drug offences during this period involved opiates when most of the users were, or had been, in receipt of prescriptions for these drugs. It was concluded that the pattern of criminality of male non-medical opiate users was related both to the type of national drug control legislation and to their individual criminal histories.

Effects of maturity and plant spacing on the morphine content of two varieties of Papaver somniferum L. Two varieties of opium poppy were grown under irrigation for one season and their capsules analysed for morphine content by gas chromatography. Harvest of the capsules at 29-33 days after flowering (mature seed) gave 6.70 kg/ha morphine as compared to 5.36 kg/ha morphine in capsules harvested at 4-6 days after flowering. With constant row spacing (30 cm between double rows on ridges 102 cm apart), a plant spacing of 6 cm gave 20 per cent more morphine than either 12- or 18-cm spacing. There was no statistical difference in morphine content between a blue- and a white-seeded variety.
